How we know she knows what she’s doing:

She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in corporate communications from Walsh University

Prior to Rea, she spent 5 years in the internal communications department at Diebold Nixdorf

How she’s helped clients meet their business needs:

Client problem: Organization was experiencing too many corporate emails during a given day to employees. Solution: Aggregated notices, reminders, announcements, corporate news, leadership messages into one internal newsletter to consolidate messages.

Client problem: Corporate leadership uninformed regarding new processes and procedures being deployed across the company. Solution: Created “Leadership Packets” that included all needed information regarding the upcoming change – which were distributed to employees before the all employee announcement was sent. The intent was to first inform leadership so they were well aware of the new process and could then answer employee questions.

Client problem: Low employee morale and connection as “one company” after a recent merger. Solution: Launched an employee selfie campaign, during which I asked employees to submit photos of themselves with the company logo and one word describing why they’re proud to work at the company. All selfies were included in a video montage / collage distributed to the entire organization, which fostered unity.

Advisory Board Member: Canton Palace Theater

Chorale Member of the Canton Symphony Chorus
